Excercise for your upper body

You can't lose weight in just your upper body alone. But usually when women lose weight, fat comes off the upper body first, and hips and thighs last (first on, last off - meaning if you gain weight in your hips and thighs first that's the last place you'll lose it from).

Just stick with doing cardio classes even though they seem to focus on your legs. That's actually good, because your legs have large muscles, and the more you develop muscle mass, the more calories your body will burn at rest.

You can do toning exercises for your upper body - I can rattle off a list of good exercises or you can just pick up a magazine like Muscle and Fitness Hers and get ideas from there.

Let me know if you need any help!

If you are looking to tone your arms then start weight trainning. Ask one of the people at the gym to make you up a workout for just your upper body. They will give you a bunch of workout tips on how to taget just your upper body. Good luck.

it is not hard to loose fat on your upper body if you are prone to gainning fat on your lower body first. This is a hard topic to explain. Everyone keeps asking how to loose weight(fat) in one area of their body. You cannot do this! It is impossible. Your body stores fat everywhere, just in different percentages throughought your body. You probably already know this.

so, the formula for loosing fat EVERYWHERE, which is really what yu are trying to do, is to add weights to your workout, do cardio at least 3-4 days per week, and lower your calories per day. If you start working out this hard, you may not even have to lower your calories.

Adding the muscle to your body will give it shape, AND raise your metabolism, so you will keep burning fat faster and faster!

Go to a trainner or pick up a few copies of muscle and fitness hers, or oxygen and learn some weight training exercises. you will see results, I PROMISE!!!!

Sorry for the long lecture! I hope this helps
